Everybody wants to live a longer healthier life. One of the worst insults is being called 'an old' so and so. In the Developed World old people are not just not respected, but are really mocked for being, sick, wrinkly and forgetful. This level of disrespect is quite appalling and very shortsighted seeing as everyone wants to live a long life too.
It is not the same story all aroumd the world. In Asia, elderly people are given respect only because they are old and have to do something to lose the automatic respect of strangers. It is no wonder that people would like to stay looking young, although young people have a lot to answer for for creating this situation. Not that it is anything new, calling someone old was an insult whilst I was young as well.
This state of affairs has led to people grasping at straws to retain their youth well after it is a lost cause. There are lots of fad and unusual diets on the market and there is always a new fantastic diet or fruit to take the place of the one going out of fashion because it did not work.
In this article, we will take a look at some of the most famous fabulous fad diets, without actually passing judgment on whether they are any good or not, because there are specialists who will recommend them and experts who will condemn them and I do not know sufficient to get off the fence.
One of the most recent ones was Goji berries. Goji berries apparently originated in Tibet, where a man is reported to have lived to the age of 262 after eating the berries every day. He passed away in 1930 and had married 14 times, leaving 11 generations behind him.
These berries are said to hold 21 minerals, 18 amino acids, Omega fatty acids and 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. These days Goji berries grow outside Tibet as well and can even be discovered growing wild in British hedgerows.
Aloe vera is another cure-all. I have seen raw aloe vera leaf cure skin problems, but I do not know whether creams have the same impact. In Asia, aloe vera grows wild and everyone has it in the garden..In Thailand, for example, the temperature is almost always around 35c, but if you snap a leaf in half, the gel inside is always cool.
It is said to contain around 200 active ingredients, with 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. It is most well known for its benefits to the skin, but it is also said to have benefits if taken internally. The gel is beneficial for numerous items and the inside of the skin is a laxative. You can purchase dried aloe vera in the form of a tea.
Grapefruit diets keep cropping up. I have known of grapefruit diets for losing weight for fifty years, but I do not know anyone who has lost weight by merely eating grapefruits. This is probably one of the more dangerous ways of attempting to remain young.
Honey and royal jelly are said to be useful for health. Honey is the best preservative known to man. Honey is the only food that never, ever goes off and royal jelly is what bees feed their young. Honey may be eaten and rubbed on the hair and skin, possibly thinned down with olive oil.
